Quotes to ponder:

"Fat cells known technically as adipocytes commonly cluster together in their millions (or billions) to form the body’s adipose tissues."

"Putting your muscles (and mitochondria) into an energy 'crisis' the kind that has you really huffing and puffing triggers the molecular machinery in mitochondria to adapt."

"In both young exercisers (those between the ages of 18 and 30) and older exercisers (those between the ages of 65 and 80), high-intensity interval training (HIIT) had by far the greatest activation of muscle fat-burning capacity."
